This Italian-Venezuelan cook likes to play with the creativity and seasonal produce , proposing risky mergers, which provide unprecedented emotions, as occurs with travel. Curious and restless, you are welcome!
Rafa has dared to reinterpret one of the great classics of Caribbean street food , the seven powers (octopus, squid, shrimp, tomato, lime, lemongrass, avocado/jalapeño foam) ; his version is a kind of twinning between Venezuela and Asia , due to the use of infusions and aromas typical of this continent. With the crispy wontons (sweet bite, stuffed with tacos al pastor and a pineapple mojito) invites us to travel between China and Mexico, and with the lamb shank, cooked at low temperature for 12 hours, it invites us to savor the encounter between Latin America and the Southeast Asian.
Among the other surprising recipes, we highlight the fried ceviche (corvina, leche de tigre with yellow pepper, sweet potato and cancha), ideal for those who do not love raw fish; the grilled octopus (creamy/unctuous anticuchero cauliflower, grilled chimichurri, smoked salt), the grilled octopus 'Argentine style' ; the Soup rice (shrimp, kimchi, black garlic, shrimp bread), which could dazzle even a Valencian; or the rice gnocchi (lamb ragu, shiitake, grana padano, thai basil), which will not make you miss the mamma's potato gnocchi....
